When I first heard about the Zahhak I thought that it was the car I have been looking for for so long. A budget version of a high performance race buggy. Taking a closer look soon I found that I was wrong. Costing nearly as much as a TRF201 but being really poor equipped it was absolutely uninteresting. Only the bodyshell cought my eye. I thought without the rediculous 'Dragon' livery it could be one of the best looking current buggy shells. So I went for a different route, bought a TRF201 and fitted a Zahhak bodyshell. I couldn't resist adding a driver figure, I can already hear the other guys on the race track laughing at me :-) If the weather is nice I will join a competition next weekend, running in 17,5T class. I hope I will bring it back home without major damage because my last 2WD race was in 1990 with a Schumacher Top Cat... that's along time ago, seems that I'm getting old!

Better than the box-art indeed The shape still is not really my cup of tea, but I never expected such a big difference in looks! Well done!

thats a really nice result and all the better for having a driver figure not enough cars have them any more !

That looks ace and I reckon every buggy should have a driver

The body looks great as I expected it would with a better paint job. Driver figure finishes the look perfectly!

BoooYah! Exactly what I thought of the Zahhak shell! This looks great. Let them laugh at the driver, it looks awesome and the paint scheme is stunning.

WoW! Thats a stunner! Looks racey and aggressive. Very reminicent of early 90's RC10s.

You made a good choice there, the Zahhak kit is a complete waste of money !
Great paint job, brill !
I have an awesome one planned once I get a body shell.
I hope you do well racing it, the car is easy to drive and handles superbly on the track where its ment to be !

Thanks for the comments guys!
@WW-nut: I bought the body from a regular Tamiya dealer, if you'd like to know the address just PM me

That´s what i waited for. Finally a nice painted Zahhak. It does really look nice i must admit. I always thought the Zahhak is one of the ugliest bodyies these days but being painted nicely without the ridiculous stickers it looks so cool! Well done mate!

Yesterday I recognized your car on the track. It is really a great looking machine.
Probably I need to do the same body conversion on my Kyosho RB5.

@ Fantuzzi: Nice idea, a Zahhaosho TRFRB5
